Sleeping in the car

About the artwork
this piece serves as a nostalgic window to a moment in childhood: being driven home by parents at night. maybe you're coming home from a road trip or just got back from the airport, but its very late. while you are quietly sitting in the backseat, you look out the window and imagine things right next to your speeding car, matching its' speed. the amber street lights pass by quickly, barely illuminating the quiet structures you pass. watching the world outside exploding with your creativity, you begin to nod off and think about how you cant wait for the morning to ride your bike to your friends house a couple blocks away. you never remember the car finally pulling in your driveway, or you being carried inside to your bed.
